FAQs about Vizcaya Bridge Tours

Is the Vizcaya Bridge a UNESCO World Heritage Site?

Yes, the Vizcaya Bridge was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006. It is recognized for its innovative 19th-century hybrid design, combining a transporter bridge with a suspended gondola, and as the world’s oldest aerial transport bridge still in operation.

How do I ride the gondola on the Vizcaya Bridge?

The gondola operates daily, transporting pedestrians and cyclists across the Nervión River between Portugalete and Getxo. Rides are frequent, with minimal wait times. Tickets can be purchased on-site or via contactless payment, with reduced fares for children and locals holding the Barik card.

What are the operating hours of the Vizcaya Bridge?

The bridge gondola typically runs from 6:30 AM to 10:30 PM Monday to Saturday and from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM on Sundays and holidays. Hours may vary seasonally or during maintenance, so check the official Biscay Transport Authority website for real-time updates.

Can I access the Vizcaya Bridge using the Bilbao metro?

Yes, take Line 2 of the Bilbao metro to Portugalete station. From there, it’s a 10-minute walk to the bridge’s southeast tower. The gondola provides a direct, scenic crossing to Getxo on the opposite bank, integrating with local bus routes.
